One of the elements addressed in the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030, is the achievement of food sovereignty. This important issue takes relevance in the debates at the level of states, among which is Ecuador, which recognizes it as a right to its citizens from its Magna Carta. Despite being a widely addressed topic and to which substantial resources are destined, obstacles persist in its implementation. Therefore, it is proposed as the objective of this investigation: the analysis of the relevance of obstacles to the achievement of food sovereignty in Ecuador through Neutrosophic Soft Sets. To meet the proposed objective, empirical methods such as the interview and a neutrosophic soft set model were used. As a result, it was obtained that from the four initial statements, only three were true and that their relevance in the subject addressed was given by the following hierarchy: first of all the need to guarantee vulnerable groups the right to healthy eating, second, the fact that the allocations of resources to peasant producers are scarce in order to increase food production in the area and finally, the insufficient legal framework to guarantee the right to food sovereignty of Ecuadorians, in correspondence with the international pronouncements and The Constitution.
